Our commercial sealant contractors service in IV12
On older buildings, particularly those put up before 2000, some old mastics and sealants may contain asbestos. Before anything is cut out, we ask for the asbestos register or survey, because the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If a material is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and we don’t remove asbestos-containing materials ourselves. We work on floor and threshold joints, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are untidy joints in a reception, shop floor or lobby and a top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting.
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off.
- First, details reach us through the quote form or a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
How we quote

Commercial sealant contractors across IV12: the area picture
The commercial stock in IV12 mixes older town-centre buildings with newer offices and units, in places such as Nairn, Auldearn and Kingsteps and beyond. Each building needs the right product for its surfaces, from stone and brick to coated aluminium and laminate.
Work in IV12 comes under Scotland’s own building standards and technical handbooks. Our part is sealing to the specification, whatever the building. IV12 includes coastal places, where facades, frames and external slabs take more weather than inland. We take that exposure into account when choosing the product.
Nairn: Shops and cafés around stations like Nairn station, under half a mile to the south of Nairn, trade from early, so work is timed around them. Refits at hotels like Waverley Hotel, under half a mile north of Nairn, bring joints at vanity tops, bars and reception desks that guests see every day.
Why act early?
Before budgeting for new frames, cubicles or worktops, check whether it’s just the sealant. Often the fitting is sound and the joint is the only thing letting it down. Resealing usually costs far less than renewal, though we will tell you honestly if the element itself is the problem.
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Building owners, agents and FMs in IV12
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. IV12 can form part of a wider programme.
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- How accessible the joints are
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- The total length or number of joints
Pricing sealant joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- Specification clauses that apply
- The postcode of the building
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Suspect materials that need testing and specialist removal
- Cracking that needs a structural engineer to look at it
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Common questions from IV12 clients
Do you work directly for building managers?
Yes, and through main contractors too. You send the details, we return a fixed quote, and the job is done and signed off, with a 12-month guarantee on the workmanship.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How do we get a quote?
Send what you have, even a few photographs and rough lengths. Questions or a site visit follow where needed, then a fixed quote.
Is it OK to apply fresh sealant over existing beads?
Full removal is part of every quote. A bead laid on old silicone peels away.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you handle sealant work across several sites?
Yes, across South East England, Greater London and all of Scotland. Each site gets the same process and a single contact.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
